Mount Pleasant , Utah , May 23.-To ftnd a medlcino that w1l1 cure every ailment due to diseased or disordered Kidneys hns been the aim of mnny physicians and chemists. Mr. C. E. Peterson , a farmer of this 1I1ace says he hils found such a. rom. { ) dy o.nd that he has tried It with sue. < : ess In his own ca90. Mr. Peterson says the remedy Is Dodd's Kidney Pt11s , medicine Introducell here 14bout seven month. ago. "I am glad to be allowed to testify to what good things Dodd's Kidney Pt1ls : have done for me. I used this remedy for Kidney trouble o.nd it < : .ured me completely. "I can heartily recommend Dodd's Kidney PJl1s to 0.11 who BulIer with any lctnd of Kidney trouble. " Mr. Peterson's case Is only ono of many just as convincing that have , been reported recently. This new rem.

But It ho ever chanced to go by , the happy chance of seeing him was not hers. DurIng the previous spring and sum. mer , and even late Into tile autumn , It had ueen dliIcrent-once or twice In every blessed weele he had come to gladden the da's , to set them In jew. eled frn.1U.es In her memory's gallery. Or If he had not , strictly speaking , come to her , she had ) 'et seen him : happened to see him : been permitted by Idnd fate to speale with him. Not that ho failed entirely to seele her out. There was denying the han. I dlness at the small riverside house , I where she llved with her widowed I mother , as 0. place to "drop Into" for' ' tea or a restful "chat. " The first time ho had entered that gate , a humorously dripping object of compassion out of an overturned sail. Ing boat , the almond tree against It was plnle with blossom , and he al. ways afterward associated her with the fragile pink flowers , weaving many a dainty compllment for her out of the sweet resemblance which a poetic fancy helped him to l\Oep vividly before him-at least , when she was bOdily beCore him also. By the tlmo the almond tree was thick with leaf , ho had grown in In. tlmacy at the little riversldo house to the prlvlleged point of inviting her Into his boat whenever , as sometimes happened , ho was bound to no special destination. She was so : roung , such a child , such an embodiment of April tears and sunshine and all the Intanglule , mocle. Ing galtj' of spring , to set against his almost. world-wide experience and his ripening : rears. So her Infiuence on him was as ephemeral as the fiower of the almond tree , delicately swect while It lasted , but to ue overpowered by the next succeeding Interest , just as the al. mend blossoms are overpowered and scattered by eyery wind that blows. A delight of a day , too unsubstantial to weather the night. But , If all her c11l1rm was Insum. clent to help her , It served , worldng mysteriously ngalnst Itself , to help him and also to help one near to her. Through her very Immaturity of , mind , her j'outhful perfection ot body , In some strange way he seemed , after a time , to reach uppreclatlon ot the woman who had urought her Into the worlll-a woman who , 111 spite of her undoubted conversational powerS' , guarded her porsonallty with a jeal. ous armament of silence and reserve ; who seemed to shrink from any fl'iendshlp which gave a hint of curl. oslty , or even of Interest pressed eyer so slightly home. Yet , for all her care , put her snc- cessfully oIT her guard , there would leap at rare moments Into her cuI. tured manner , a manner that he Imew , the IIght.hearted gaiety her daughter had Inherited , completed , made aaUs. fylng , made real , uy all that lIfo had taught her. He grew to longing for those dept.hs eagerly , passlonatelr , that he might gain rest In them , sunned there by her lighter manner , sustained by her truth and steadfastness.

Yet he must have been blind Indeed It the long summer had not served to let him Into c. o child's pitiful secret : bad not taus'1Il ' him how the mother's 16\'c set the welfare of her child before - fore her as a shrlno declted for per- vl.\ual : s..ll < 1r1.ce ! : _ So , ror his purt , ho sut the ( trear ) ' winter months hetween them and him. self-It was his sacrifice. Yet he I strewed his fiowers , although ho real. Ized even In the act that It would bet. . t r have become hll11 to leave the stones stat1lllng bare. "l.oole out for me , " ho said , "when the almond Is in blossom. " He was not able to decide what the future held for him , or , If he decided ono thing one hour , ho swept It a\vay In favor ot Its opposition the next : but the moment he saw them again he Imow his fate-read It In the girl's quick gladness of welcome , In the ; mot.her's glance ot alarm , just touch. Ing him but settling on her. The girl's beauty was not qulto so radiant : waiting and watching had dimmed It a little , although the havoc was no moro t.han a few daj's' happl. ness would mend. ' 1'ho mother looled III and wo"n , but no lc.ss beautiful to him for that. ! He hnd come not only because the I almond tree was In blossom and he had promised , but also because he had reached that point when ho could no longer lteep away. "I love ) 'OU , " he 2ald , and , since her I "I love you , " hc said. eyes hurt him , added qUlcltly , "I must tell you , although I Imow what you wlll hayo to say to me. " "Not all , perhaps , " she said. "You cannot Imow how I love you until I tell you , but It must uo only this once. " "She Is so j'oung , " he pleaded , pres. ently ; "sho wlll so soon forget. " "She Is too 111\0 me , " she said , "and I I never forget. "I married thoughtlessly - ! lessly , " she went on , "without real love. This Is my punishment :1I1d I must bear It. " lIe nerved himself to a supreme et. fort , trying to catch her spirit of sac. rltlce while It brnshed round him. "Would It help you if I took her , " he said , "as a gift from ) 'ou , and tried to malte her happy , doing the best I could ? " For a moment she stood stunned , her ej'es 1lndled with the admiration that was his reward. " o , " she said at last : "she would find 01..t enough to spall the happiness. But how good of : rou ! " "You would give up all for her ? " he questioned. "That Is what this means , " she said , "and Isn't It her turn ? 'l'ho right of youth ? " "So I must give up hope ot you-to please you ? " he aslted. "Yes , " she said , "and my love for you has taught me so much about you that I Imow that ) 'ou can do It. " "Oh , It Is hard , " ho cried. nut In answer , she only turned hOJleless eyes to him and robbed him In sllenco of the power to say more , Yet , beCore they parted , ho clulmed one thing from her while abandoning so much. "If she calls on you one day for ; -our appreciation of a moro sultaulo lover , wlll ) 'OU send for me then 1" ho urged. And her promise to this she yielded to his Importunltj' . But she shoole her head w arll ' : the girl seemed so en. tlroly her second self-to her. Dut his last sht ! , of the gIrl wns 0. little figure In Illnl , under the pin It- I blossomed almond tree.

It has for Its text the rollowlng senate resolution offered on April 2 : ! , 1J04 ! : "Hesolved , That our continued pros.

" Vigorously and auly Senator Ga11lnger challenges this destructive propaganda. With an 1m. presslv'e array of facts and fIgures to support his contention , ho avers that the country should stick to the grand old shill Ilrotection and not lower her colors to freetrade pirates. ' 1'he speech hrlstles with strong argument and fact. It deals fairly aud eiIect. . Ively with the trust Iluestlon ( showing conclusively that. trusts owe neither theh' origin nor their continued ex. Istence to a , protectlvo tarliI. . ' 1'hls showing Is made the more ef. fectlvo by the plnln huslness facts of the past year. It has heen a uad year for the overinflated trusts. Some of them have gone down , whllo oth. ers have had a hard time to weather the storm of their own creation. Shoclts and strains have occurred which woulll surely have wrecltlHl lll'ospority but for the presence of a lIrotective tariff as a Eafegul\rd.
